Siam Shades House

Please bear in mind that the background to our trip was that southern Thailand was in the middle of massive storms that were causing a lot of destruction. We arrived from a long flight and all we needed was a simple place to rest up for 2 nights before moving on.That the power was on, a/c and WiFi working was a minor miracle. The room was dry and perfectly clean.Facilities in the room were quite basic but I did not expect anything else. For example there was one small wardrobe, but I would not have needed wardrobe space as I did not intend to unpack. The room was large enough to leave our bags on the floor.The bathroom, although basic, was clean and perfectly acceptable. The shower was hot; what more do you need?The bed was massive and the sheets were clean. On the back of the door was a certificate to say the mattress had been professionally cleaned.The staff were wonderful (but then I find that Thai people are universally delightful).The Shades restaurant and bar was 20m away across the road, right on the beach.The hotel organised a taxi to take us to the ferry pier. On that journey we saw washed out properties, mud slides and some homes destroyed; we, on the other hand, were dry, comfortable and safe.We would stay here again.
